Been jonzin' for some Frogmore Stew lately. My usual way is with crab legs, shrimp, hot sausage, corn on the cob, red potatoes, onion, and garlic. A lot of folks use a commericial boil, such as Old Bay or Zatarain's. I use me own mix...
Seafood boil
1/4 cup mustard seeds
2 tbs whole black peppercorns
2 tbs crushed hot red pepper flakes
6 bay leaves
1 tbs celery seed
a few blades of mace
1/4 cup sea or kosher salt
Put all seasonings except the salt in a blender and mix until evenly ground. Add the salt and blend briefly to incorporate.

Frogmore Stew
Serves 8 hungry folks
1/4 to 1/2 cup seafood boil
2 lbs hot sausage or kielbasa
12 ears sweet corn, shucked and broken into 3" to 4" pieces
4 lbs fresh shrimp - deveined and unpeeled
2 lbs crab legs
2 lbs red potatoes - halved and not peeled
2 medium sized sweet onions - halved
6 cloves garlic - peeled
6 to 8 quarts of water
In a large stockpot, combine the seafood boil and water and bring to a boil. Add potatoes, return to a boil and cook for 10 minutes. Add sausage and corn, return to boil and cook for 10 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Add shrimp and crab legs and cook 3 to 5 minutes, or until "pink". Remove all ingredients immediately and dig in! Serve with a shaker of the seafood boil mix and some cocktail sauce.
Thanks for looking... sorry, no pix yet, butt I will get some when I make it again.
